Winterstreet, in the city of New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Laundry Tub orlTray, -of which the follow'- ing is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements .in laundry tubsgor trays in general, and particularly to those made of cement and known as granite ltiundry tubs.

The objets of my improvement are First: te provide a laundry tub With means for atta*` t a curtain to or suspending` it from the` upper edges of the front and sides of theta."J Seeond: to have these suspend- .ing means eountersunk in the body of the tub, spas not to interfere with anybody or anything. Third: to have these suspending mer-.ns simple, durable and inexpensive. Fourth: to do away with the inronvenience of [having to remove the curtain eaeh time that the tub is to lie opened, When the eurta'ln is attached to the cover of the tub, as

Vwth@ current practice. I attain these objects di'ythe device illustrated in the accompany'- ing drai'vings, 1n whielr- Figure l is an isometrical VView of the tub with my suspending means Visibleon the front and left side thereof, and Fig. 2 a part .section of the remote or right side of tul b v a plane A VB (l perpendicular to the sides of the tub.

5, .7, l and 7 are the so milled metal eas infs or upper rims otihe four sides of the tub.
